According to legend a Norse warrior called Odin, seeking wisdom and understanding of life and death,
fasted with neither food nor water hanging from Yggdrasil, the tree of knowledge, for nine days and nights.
From this experience came the knowledge of the Runes.
From that time on, aided by Viking travels, knowledge and understanding of the runes has
spread throughout the world.
Runes are an alphabet of symbols that represent energies and meanings and that also lend
themselves to the use of intuition - reaching for further insight beyond the description
of each stone's meaning.
Runes stones can be used to help us understand ourselves and the surrounding world better by allowing
us to ask questions and then casting the runes stones for answers.

Rune Information

For information about each rune - click on the rune pictures
of the page
for details on the rune meaning and its equivalent English letter and number.

Which way up?

The runes can be seen
of each page. As with the standard
English alphabet most of the runes can only be viewed correctly one way up. Thus when cast
inverted, they offer a different meaning to their normal orientation.

Other runes, such as Gebo shown to the left, look the same when viewed upright or inverted.
